Marvel's earliest attempt in the movie business. With a wise cracking, quack-fuing duck, called Howard. Why was the movie a box office flop? Did it stay true to the comic? Why did it have a tonal problem through out the film. Did it do anything right? Let's take a look back at George Lucas' Howard The Duck.

It's just not a good movie, nothing about it was right or fun. I mean, plenty of bad moves have been big hits, but the public did catch onto this one fast.
